No one spoke, and every step forward was like stepping on a sharp knife, and the sole of the shoe could be cut by the blade at any time. This is a psychological sense of hidden fear, after experiencing the catastrophe of life and death of the big "black dragon" like a cave newt, I have a faint premonition that the last moment is coming, and the ultimate secret of this ancient cave is not far ahead.

But is that secret something we can afford to bear? In the ancient times, the king could be said to have painstakingly set up one elaborate link after another, but was it simple for him to protect the secret of the dragon vein he guarded? Obviously, it is impossible, but I am afraid that in the end, there will be more complicated waiting for us.

I thought about many possibilities, but I didn't expect that when I reached the end of the road, it would be such a scene.

In the distance, you can see the bright light of the fire ahead, and the voices of people are also coming, but you can only hear their voices and see no people. When he got closer, he could already make out that it was Yan Jiu's voice, but something seemed wrong with him, he was roaring loudly, and his emotions were close to madness.

Soon we saw him and understood why he was gone. When I raised my eyes, I heard two gasps, one from me and one from one another. Yan Jiu is on top! Not only him, but one, two, three, four, five, and six, everyone was there, from Han Dongling to Yu Qiuyuan, to the madman and Han Jiancheng, including Xiang Wan.

What Brother Liang said about them turned out to include everyone, so they can be described as ...... Clean sweep.

Yes, it was like a black net that netted everyone on top, but when you looked closely, you found that it was not a net, but a vine-like vine that grew out of the rocks on the top. Among the cadres, except for Xiang Wan, the madman, and Yan Jiu, the other three people all closed their eyes tightly, as if they were drowsy and had no breath.

This is the first time I have seen Xiang Wan so embarrassed, she seems to have unloaded all her strength, and her head is drooping. The madman's gaze was a little glazed, fixed on a certain place, motionless, as for Yan Jiu, he was the only one who could be regarded as an exception, the rest of the people were bound to the top of the rock, and he was the only one hanging upside down. I haven't seen Yan Jiu, but I can recognize people at a glance, in addition to the recognition of his voice, and his age, his silver hair is particularly conspicuous.

When I first heard his voice, it was full of energy, and by this time his voice was hoarse, but he was still cursing. It took a while to hear what he was scolding, traitor, eating inside and out, ingratitude, etc., are all such words.

I suddenly remembered that except for me and successively, not all of them were there. And that snake repellent!

No wonder that man was able to drive snakes away from me in the quagmire of the newt, because he left Yan Jiu and ran away, probably just in a panic to flee there, and met us, and saw that I was stuck in the quagmire, so he had bad intentions and fell into the well, wanting to give me another ride.

It was Xiang Wan who saw us first, and her originally godless face immediately showed anger: "Ah Xu, get out of here!" But her words are tantamount to nonsense, after seeing such a scene, how can she leave again one after another?

After sweeping over the top, he was already looking around, his eyes piercing, and finally landed directly in front of us.

I had already seen it as soon as I arrived, and although the visual impact of the people hanging upside down above my head was huge, it was still hard to ignore the place ahead. First of all, I have to describe the general scene of the whole place, there is a huge fire cluster in the center, roughly guessed to be fueled by that kind of black rock, and then there is a lamp in each of the four corners of the space, that lamp is naturally not an electric lamp in the normal sense, but a special antique oil lamp, the lamp holder is metal, and the fire light flashes in the lampshade.

I had heard that the thousand-year-old lamp would never go out, so I didn't think much about why the fire in the lamp kept burning.

What is also striking is that there are two large metal doors directly in front of us, at the end of the road. The reason why it is called the door is because there are two rings in the center, which resemble the door knockers of large families in ancient times. Then I talked about the place as far as the eye could see, just in front of the two metal gates, there was a pool, and there was a platform in the center of the pool, and on top of the platform was placed a stone coffin about two meters long and more than one meter wide, which was strange enough, and a white jade statue was placed on the stone coffin.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the statue of the Queen Mother of the West that they mentioned. After more than ten long years, some grievances have been reopened, so our group of people have all gathered here.

To be honest, I really don't see how precious it is, it's just a statue that looks a little like white jade, Queen Mother of the West? The god of Kunlun? So what, it's just a fictional character that exists in ancient mythology.

It's just that it appeared here, I subconsciously looked up at the night, there is no doubt that this statue was finally taken away by her, so as to get the structure of the statue, but why did she erect it on the stone coffin? What must be the meaning of this, it has to do with the stone coffin underneath, what is in it?

A series of questions came to my mind, and I wanted to know the secret of the coffin more than why they were bound to the top by that black beard, because I had a hidden hunch that the key was there. Apparently in line with my thoughts, he did not anxiously try to go to the top to save people, but walked slowly along the edge of the pool, his sharp eyes fixed on the stone coffin.

I noticed that Xiang Wan's expression was more frightened than worried, and she shouted hoarsely: "Ah Xu, you leave me immediately!" ”

One after another, he finally raised his eyes to look at her, and his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish. The next moment, he stepped into the water, and I was slightly startled, even though I could already see that the pool was not deep, at most it reached my thighs. Is he really going to go to the platform in the middle?

Without hesitation, I also got into the water, holding back the inhalation sound that came to my mouth, this water ...... It's even colder than the ice fountain before. And why not white fog? One after another, he turned around, his eyes swept sharply towards me, with anger, his lips moved to say something, but finally he reached out to me. I pursed my lower lip and took his hand, stepped over quickly, looked at his face carefully, and wondered if he was not cold. No reaction at all.

After his hand was squeezed hard, he was heard gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't look at me, I'm about to freeze into a dog." ”

I endured and endured, but I still couldn't hold back the corners of my mouth, I really admired that he could still say ridiculous things on such occasions. But from the completely cold hands and the force with which he squeezed extremely hard, you could feel that he was not only cold, but also nervous.

Fortunately, the pool is not large, and they reached the middle platform in a few steps, and when the two of them turned over, they felt that their feet were no longer their own, and they were numb and completely unconscious, and even after getting out of the water, thin ice formed on the trouser tube. When I smashed it with my hand, I felt more and more strange, obviously there was a large fire cluster over there, and there were lamps burning all around, the water was so cold, and there would be water mist after the reaction of the two phases, but this water seemed to press the ice under the water, but the surface layer blended with the space. I noticed that the back of my hand was touched, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that he was looking at me suspiciously.

"Don't get distracted at this time, be careful." Listening to his whisper, I nodded, and brushed aside all doubts I had about the pool.

The platform was not big, only a few steps before he arrived in front of the stone coffin, and the top of his head seemed to have given up and stopped screaming, and looked up at her, only to see her looking at this place with a sad expression. Her gaze did not collide with me, her gaze fixed on ...... On the white jade statue.

Turning my gaze, I saw that one after another eyes were fixed on the white jade statue, and when his hand was stretched out, I instinctively grabbed it and shook my head at him. I took out all the bamboo pipes from my coat and put them on one by one, almost a meter long, and then I took two steps back one after another, and then used the bamboo pipe to order the white jade statue. Didn't move! It seems to be a little heavy, I increased the force again, and still didn't move!

He reached out one after another to hold my bamboo pipe and exert his strength with me, but the white jade statue still did not move, as if it had taken root.

The two of them relieved their strength and no longer worked in vain, and they had already determined one thing: this white jade statue seemed to be placed on it like that, but it was not. This time, I stepped forward and reached over, but I didn't stop it, in fact, I was also curious, could it be glued to it?

There was no accident, and no matter whether it was pushing or pulling, he couldn't pick up the white jade statue. Suddenly, he paused, and held the white jade statue to rotate clockwise, this time it really moved, and a rumbling sound sounded, which was produced by the friction between stones. It is generally understood that this is an exquisite design, and the white jade statue not only contains a diagram of the structure of the ancient cave, but also has something to do with this stone coffin, which may be the key to unlock the mechanism. Its entire base is inlaid into the surface of the coffin.

He withdrew his hand when he couldn't turn it anymore, and his eyes swept around vigilantly, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

I only heard the sound of a machine scraping and jumping, which was especially obvious in the silence, and the sound came from the stone coffin in front of me. Obviously, the lid of the stone coffin is slowly moving up, and it stops after moving almost an inch, so can it be regarded as opening this stone coffin?

Although I have never experienced any of this, I still understand some common sense. In ancient times, the stone coffin was usually used as the outer coffin of the coffin, and the body was put into the wooden coffin, and then the coffin was put into the stone coffin, mainly to avoid the decay of the wood over time, and it was also a symbol of status.

From a distance, this stone coffin was gray and black, and when I got closer, I found that this surface layer was very similar to the kind of limestone layer we encountered in the fourth-layer waterway, and it was irregular, so I couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, and it was really pinched off, and it was also brittle. With my pinch, something strange happened, only to hear a crackling sound, the stone coffin cracked everywhere, except for the upper layer, and the limestone on the side began to fall off.

Subconsciously pulled me back one after another, looking down at my hands, not to the point of power, just a pinch that shattered all the limestone layers?
